Barr Hill Tom Cat is barrel-aged in new American oak, while Barr Hill Gin is unaged. Both are made in Vermont by Caledonia Spirits and use raw honey as a defining ingredient.

What cocktails work well with Barr Hill Tom Cat?

It works especially well in a Tom Cat Old Fashioned, Martinez, or Negroni variation because the oak aging can stand in for some whiskey-like depth. The gin is usually bottled at a higher proof than many standard London dry gins.

Where is Barr Hill Tom Cat Gin made?

It is made by Caledonia Spirits in Montpelier, Vermont. The distillery is closely associated with beekeeper Todd Hardie and the use of honey in spirits.
